Keep thinking about Moyes’ presser comments from a few games back re looking at players; ‘some closer than you think’… obvs in part a joke about Salah at the time but wonder whether there was a grain of truth in there too. We will see I guess

Could easily have gone the wrong way so many times. And very nearly did.

Bit of an extreme take that. Easy enough to be realistic and optimistic - one doesn’t negate the other. The last four years made it very difficult to remain optimistic to be fair though

I’m not saying you’re wrong, just like you say, different perception. It’s all opinions at the end of day. I’m also not saying we want to be Leeds, there are other examples of this structure elsewhere, but I don’t see their structure there as having failed and I also see it demonstrating...
